Maitake has been one of the major culinary mushrooms in China and Japan for centuries. Its name translates to “the dancing mushroom” because when it was found in the woods, people danced for joy. In Europe and North America it is also known as the “hen-of-the-woods” because of its array of overlapping caps that resemble feathers. Maitake’s health benefits include balancing blood sugar and supporting healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, boosting immune function, and even promoting fertility. Maitake is also used in Chinese medicine to improve spleen and stomach health as well as to calm nerves..
